The $18 billion settlement Meta agreed to less than two weeks prior highlights escalating regulatory pressure on big tech. This could set a precedent for stricter oversight of data and consumer harm, potentially extending to crypto platforms if regulators apply similar frameworks. Meanwhile, Meta's push into AI-driven commerce (Muse) reflects a broader trend of tech giants embedding financial services, which may eventually include crypto rails.

Meta announced that users can connect their apps to Muse for various functions including sending emails, turning recipe Reels into grocery lists, and making purchases via Link by Stripe support.
